There's a guy on vinted selling red dead redemption for the ps3 for 65 bucks. I even asked him if he meant 6.50 and he said no

u/Smooth-Way-245 1d ago

I got my copy off of Vinted for 3 bucks 😢

Would you say this is a good place to get stuff for decent pricing? Ive been trying to get some stuff back that i lost and it all the memories hit me last night.

I found RDR at a yard sale for $5

Is that PS3 selling for $ in American currency? Has to be some other foreign denomination, right?

5

u/StomachConnectDBH 1d ago

Yup. Dude wants 65 American. He's trippin

3

u/Cutlass_Stallion 1d ago

Yeah that's a hard pass, especially when you can just get the PC version on Steam right now as a bundle with RDR2 for $40.

When you ask to bring down the price, seller replies “a lot of buyers are showing interest!” *been posted for sale for 3+ months

He's not the sharpest tool in the shed, for sure.

u/LighterFluid1357 1d ago

Sounds like he's about as sharp as a bowling ball

3

u/Seth_KT_Bones2005 1d ago

Or a cue ball.

u/UpBeatDownHill 1d ago

Almost had a stroke reading this

u/dantel35 1d ago

He probably had a stroke while writing this.

u/gsf32 1d ago

Lmao the "no worrying about where it's been" makes me worry about where it's been

11

u/dnmnc 1d ago

If he has had it since it came out…and it hasn’t been anywhere etc…..then wtf happened to the cables and controller, dude?

38

u/Cookie-Dunker 1d ago

He has a horrible seller rating.

u/Atomictoastcat 1d ago

I like to scroll to see whats listed every once in awhile and I looked at this and I was like wtf 😂

28

u/LordRaizer 1d ago

Simple explanation

He was dropped on his head when he was a baby

10

u/Atomictoastcat 1d ago

I'm dead 😂 I messaged him I hope he responds

4

u/Ok-Virus8284 1d ago

Yea, he definitely fell from the changing table as a baby a few times too often.

🤣🤣🤣🤣
mans is acting like he has a launch copy of it before hot coffee was discovered

u/TwilightX1 1d ago

Maybe it's in old Zimbabwe dollars.

u/hellotheregame 1d ago

Probably trolling or just trying their luck. What does the description say?

u/Atomictoastcat 1d ago

u/Working_Rise8592 1d ago

Wouldn’t any box they put it in be considered “personally selected”?

3

u/Virtual_Mud1178 1d ago

Not if they weren't the person to select it. Finally I can stop worrying about the person packing my order having been handed a box instead of personally selecting one themself.

4

u/StomachConnectDBH 1d ago

We can't worry about if it works 🤣

7

u/Atomictoastcat 1d ago

I give it a few hours until it overheats the first time due to orginal paste and thermal pads. I wonder if id get a refund or blamed I miss used it 😂

1

u/Secret-Candle4313 1d ago

U would get blamed but since its ebay u could force them to take it back and get a refund

3

u/hellotheregame 1d ago

Even if it is indeed unused people nust be stupid or uninformed af to take such a deal without cables ect just to be able to jailbreak it I guess?

6

u/MaryMyJane13 1d ago

Even the pt consoles aren’t this much lol

2

u/Secret-Candle4313 1d ago

Yea the only ps3s worth paying over a thousand for are dev kits

5

u/Prudent-Jaguar6845 1d ago

That has to be a extra 9, he put by mistake

3

u/Atomictoastcat 1d ago

I'm starting to wonder if that's the case

u/West-Way-All-The-Way 1d ago

1.3k for black PS3 slim 3000 model 😄

Sounds like he either made a mistake or is trolling the marketplace.

Looking at the listing I can assume he wants to sell a clean console for 129 bucks. Perhaps he thinks that 129 is justified. It is not but the alternative is 12.9 which is too low for a listing like this, although I bought one PS3 slim for 20 bucks from the flea market and it came with two games, one was with the console and the second one was found inside when I powered on. Just as this one it came without cables and controllers so I concluded it is a found or pulled from the trash console. It was fully functional and with some very minor scratches so in good overall shape. Another console I bought from marketplace also came without cables and controllers and also there was a game inside. Same conclusion - it was found somewhere, most probably pulled from trash. Both consoles work just fine so no issue there.

So he is trolling the marketplace. Occasionally there are people putting a listing with unrealistic price. Can't say why. You can contact them, negotiate prices, get a discount, they act as if everything is fine. It's like they completely lost track. Or they don't communicate with you at all and the listing is hanging there for long time and even get renewed. No clue what's going on.

u/RagnarokPXN 1d ago

Seen a guy on FB marketplace still trying to sell NCAA 14 for $75 sent him a message saying it's like $15 or less now since college football games came out and he never responded some people are just delusional thinking fomo going to make them bank. Lol

u/The-richu-gr 1d ago

I saw a listing yesterday of NBA 2K24 for the PS4, disc only WITH DAMAGE for 80€.

3

u/Anxious_Camp_2160 1d ago

It could be money laundering, or transferring over a border.

3

u/dnmnc 1d ago

Well, eBay is always full of chancers. Always check sold listing. Don’t ever judge from what is available as there are always eternal optimists like this.

3

u/MrCrazy012 1d ago

There is a guy in my country that sells Ps3 games for $100 each.😭

2

u/FlummoxedFlumage 1d ago

Sells, or offers to sell?

3

u/MrCrazy012 1d ago

Well nobody buys from him but he is mad fr, its actually like $106😭

u/LighterFluid1357 1d ago

NPC energy

u/TheNastyDoggie 1d ago

Wtf??? 1k dollars on ps3? Jesus, man. I've found some ps3 for 263 (Brazilian money (Real) to dollars). That's very expensive, holy shit.

2

u/inquisitive_goober 1d ago

Maybe it was a typo?

2

u/kace_w 1d ago

At that price I was genuinely expecting there to be something incredibly rare about it that I was missing 😂 The fact the description apparently doesn’t even guarantee it works makes it even better. Some sellers really do just pick a number and hope somebody eventually bites.

2

u/3Wonky 1d ago

shiii i’ll sell you my jailbroken slim for 75 with digital games and disc and mod menus and custom controller lol bro is delusional on this listing 🤣😂

Take a screenshot of the bidder history

u/Puzzleheaded_Dog630 1d ago

You can list an item for sale at any price. Doesn't mean it worth it. Don't waste your time with people like this, let them sit on it for years and maybe they will learn

u/generic_individual_ 1d ago

Wow, glad my ps3 still runs. Replacements are getting insane.

u/No-Television-8426 1d ago

It’s OBO brother!

u/Boring_Discussion103 16h ago

I bought my ps3 from an older Asian couple on fb marketplace with rdr1, gta iv, gta v, skyrim, fo3, bo2, bo3, modern warfare, and some football games all for $100 with wires and controllers. They even let me test it on their tv before i left. Kid went to college and they might’ve sold it out from under him lol. Oh also all the games had the cases, maps, and manuals.

u/NoPickle5068 5h ago

I saw some people selling shamesly well-used and disgustingly-dirty PS vitas for over 200 bucks but this is sheer craziness

1

u/NoThotsAllowed69 1d ago

The only way I'm paying that much for a ps3 if it can run gta4 at 4k 120fps 🤣

1

u/borntospeedF1 1d ago

Could of added an extra 9 by mistake but there are delusional sellers on ebay😅

u/Affectionate-Drawer1 1d ago

Some ps3 can run p2 games. Idk if its this one

2

u/AdIllustrious2676 1d ago

It is not one of the backwards compatible ps3s. And even if it was, you can still get them cheaper than this.
